a pottery company, with = capital stock
of $75. 900, is being organized IN this city.
The pottery will he built on the site of
the Martins Ferry Stove Works destroyed
by fire some weeks ago. Concerning the
project, the Martins Ferry Nacs says:
The move is certainly i good one, and II
4 good practical manager can he secured
there il no reascu why the pottery, backed
by the capitalists interested, will not pay
Nearly every pottery in the United States
properly managed, and having the neccs-
sary capital, is running and doing we'll.
There was a time when no iron stone,
ndamantiEe and other kinds Of queens
rare was made in this country, aud few
thought i ever would he made. The first
pottery, we believe, was established at
Trenton, n. j., which proved a success,
Others followed and all are making money,
and many are increasing and doubling
their capacity. Some Of them make better
ware tEn is made in England, France
and Germany. The Wheeling and
Stcubenyi!le potteries have been
enlarged from time TO time, and both will
doubled. The Others are in course of con-
struction in Wheeling aud another is talk
ed of At Steubenville. Eighty per cent, OF
the cr0ckery used in this country is i'm
ported, and the business is the least rep
resented of any in the country. Knowles,
Taylor q Knowles, of East Liverpool, went
into the business about fifteen years ago
with q capital Of only 81, 800, and to-day
tEcy are said to bs worth 81 800, 00G. The
pottery business is to-day what The glass
business was fifteen years ago. Martins
needs a diversity of manufactures, and a
pottery it should have. The proposed site
is one Of the best in the country. 1t is
high and dry, within a few yards of two
railroads, and within a short distance OF
The river. The shipping facilities are now
first class, aud will be better when the new
railroads and Union bridge are built. Al
the stockholders in the stove works will
take stock, and several Wheeling capital
lists will 20 in. "-Inferyd and Glassware Re-

The Buckeye Glass Co. is still having n
good run on lamps, shades ard chimneys
with excellent prospects. The holiday
trade has been good. This company,
which has never occupied as fine a position
with the trade as at present, will have a
number of odds and ends ready for the
spring trad and will continue to aid new
goods right along. A. Il Oug, one Of the
leading druggists and lamp dealers OF
Martins Ferry, handles nothing in the
way Of lamps and shades except the Buck
eye make, and his stock is immense. Many
persons who seldom visit the factories ex-
press themselves as surprised when they
are told that such fine and fancy goods are
made here, and strangers are often aston
ished. Mr.. Ellis, the Southern salesman,
came home this week from q successful
five months trip.
